2022-03-09 18:40:47Anna's POV
The hall is silent, everyone is watching the host on the podium, waiting patiently for the announcement of the top 10 best businessman and newest billionaires in New York. I can see the fear and anxiety in Aidan's face, even though he is trying to hide it. I can see through him.
I can see Julian's table from where we sit. I can also see his father watching us at intervals, there is a pretty lady beside him.
When Aidan and I entered with my arms intertwined with his, the flashes from the media's camera were enough to intensify my anxiety. Aidan told me not to answer any questions and I was obeying him.
When we entered the big hall, I wished for the ground to open so I could go in. My breathing seized because of the large crowd. I was panicking.
I have never been in a place where there are so many people like this.
Aidan noticed it

Aidan's POVSaying I am happy sounds like an understatement. I am over the moon and I feel fulfilled.Even though I know my father will think I won because of him and Julian, I am going to prove them wrong. Their help didn't take me anywhere.Justine prevailed. I won and Damien lost.After presenting my speech and appreciation to the people who stood by me, I was given another standing ovation. I didn't mention my father and I did that on purpose. I only mentioned the one absent person but I was sure she was watching my success from home.My mother! She stood by me, she sacrificed a lot for me to be where I am today.Even without her legs, she supported me and gave me strength. When I want to give up, she is the one I always run to, she gives me a shoulder to lean on and she keeps telling me my success is close at hand.

Tessa's POV I am a strong woman and I won't let anything break me down, not even Aidan. After crying for a while at home, I decided to come to see things for myself and here I am. I reapplied my makeup and asked the driver to drive me to the party with Zoe who was looking at me with pity. I don't need any pity. Aidan has just trampled upon me and I am going to deal with the idiot, I no longer care if he is the man I love or not. I am no longer here in the event because of Aidan, he is no longer the reason why I am here. I am here to satisfy my curiosity, I want to see the girl Aidan brought to the party in place of me. I want to see the person that took my place. I want to see how worthy she is. I want to see who she is and what she is. That will determine my next line of action. I ask the driver to drop me off at a little distance away from the entrance and I take bold steps out of the car when it comes to a stop. I didn't wait for Zoe before walking to the back of the hall. I

Anna's POVAfter Aidan left, I sit quietly taking into consideration the warnings he pointed out to me on our way here. I don't want to get on his bad side and get him angry on a day like this. I want to stay put and wait till he is back, hoping the meeting with his father won't turn out bad.There are few people left in the hall now and everyone seems to be chatting with other people. The people on the dance floor have stopped dancing and the music is off. I can see some people going to the buffet to get their food.My stomach rumbles at the instant and I shut my eyes to ward my hunger off. I can't eat without Aidan here. I feel unprotected without him here and I feel everyone seems to be looking at me, those I know and even those that I don't know.&nbs

Tessa's POVMy replacement is a beauty to behold. But she is nowhere as beautiful as I am, I know this. I can see the way she was staring at me with admiration when I first appeared in front of her before she replaced the admiration with a nonchalant attitude.She is nowhere as sophisticated as I am and that relieved me a bit. I thought Aidan will go for someone better than me in all ramifications, someone more sophisticated and classic but here she is, nobody.I can see how she is finding it difficult to ignore me like I don't exist, I can see how she is trying to sip her wine like the elite that she isn't, I can see how difficult she is trying to play along and I am glad that my presence is making her uncomfortable.It is quite obvious that she knows who I am already and what I am to Aidan. Whether Aidan gets married to her will not change anything between us. Aidan will still be mine. I am sure he

Me in my wedding dress, sitting in front of the mirror, admiring being a beautiful bride and patiently waiting for the time to go say yes to the man of my dreams. But this is the total opposite, I am admiring myself right now but I don't admire the type of life I am living.I don't like the fact that I am getting married today to a man I don't love and who doesn't love me. I like Aidan for being a strong, hardworking man and for being the father of my baby but I also dislike him a lot.Our wedding is going to be a small one in the church nearby the house. He suggested we move before the wedding but I told him I want to get married in the house where I grew up.

Damien's POVNever in my wildest dream have I ever imagined life to be this sorrowful for me and depressing. I feel like a real loser for once in a while. I have always rejoiced in the delight of being a winner in virtually everything I do, but I take rejection and failure the hard way. I beat myself up for whatever failure I get.Aidan knows this about me. I was always the guy with the grade A in mid-school but the year Aidan took A, I almost stopped being friends with him. I felt betrayed. I felt he took the position from me on purpose. I felt he did it to spite me. My mother said I was just being childish and I accepted after giving it several thoughts.Ever since the night of the award, I spend most of my days indoors. I am not ready to give up, I won't relent until I see Aidan down. I am drafting new plans to achieve my goals and my confidence is beginning to set in at this rate, I am just hoping it doesn't turn out

Anna's POVWhen I see Tony's name flash across my phone screen, I assume he is calling to know if I am truly married or not.The first time he asked me a question like that, it sounded ridiculous to my ears but now that it is real, I feel ashamed of telling him about my unreal marital status."How are you doing, Anna?" He requests. I am quite surprised he Is sounding cool and calm. His voice isn't raised and I can't detect any tone of anger, impatience, or apprehension."I am fine, Tony. How are you?" I demand from him too?I am still expecting him to ask, 'Are you married? I saw it in the news', but he isn't saying anything.I know seeing my marriage to Aidan in the news is not expected because of how quiet it was but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to be on the news. There are spies everywhere and would do all it takes to get

Tessa's POV"Aidan is married?" I open my mouth in disbelief.I can't believe he eventually married that low-life girl. I thought something will happen and he will realize she is not his type of girl but the message before me proves otherwise."Congratulations, Aidan is married to Anna Gomez", it reads.Damien sent me the message. He has been calling me for half an hour now but I did not pick up his calls. He sent the message instead and I can't believe it.Is this a prank to make me pick his call? I ask myself but after waiting for some minutes for his call to come in and it didn't. Now I know the purpose of his call. He was calling to taunt me

I feel a touch and I know instantly that it is Aidan."What are you thinking about?" He asks me after pecking my lips. He pulls me closer and puts off the television with the control. I am sitting in between his legs with his back on the headboard."Nothing", I whisper. I have just finished taking a bath and Aidan is also coming out of the bathroom. We have plans of going on a tour today. We are on a vacation to Paris and we are going to begin our tour today.We have been indoors for two days now, doing nothing other than playing games, cuddling in each other's arms, and having sex.

Aidan's POVMy family is complete now and my joy knows no bounds. It is as if the kidnap never happened. Sometimes, I feel like spending the whole day watching Lily play, sleep or giggle, but I can't do that all day.I realize Lily only has my eyes but she has a striking resemblance with her mother.Anna and I had gone out this morning to visit Tony and I wanted Lily and her nanny to come with us but Anna protested. Tony was surprised to see us but he invited us in anyway. I have no idea why I followed Anna until I got there. Tony was truly hurt and I realized a man like that can do anything.I apologized to him for my behavior the other day and explained things to Tony. I didn't want him to see Anna as a bad woman so I told him I was the one who gave her the right to date other men while we were married. It was after she began to go out with him that it dawned on me that I might lose Anna to him and I

A WEEK AFTERTessa's POVI would never have hurt Aidan's baby, I wasn't that cruel. Besides, the baby had an innocent look and I would never have hurt her because of what her father had done to me.I did what I did so I could get Aidan's attention and I can finally use the opportunity to have him to myself and probably lie that my pregnancy is his. I never knew this is where it would land me. I never knew I would be considered a criminal.I kept telling them that I am pregnant but no one seems to be listening to my lamentations. I know my father won't help me, he is mad at me and I am sure he has already disowned me by now. I don't know who I am pregnant for and I tried guessing if it is for Damien, William, or Trevor, or even the guy I had sex with at the party.One of my boys betrayed me and brought them to the house where I hid them. I had no other options left so hosting them

Aidan's POV"Shit!" I hit the car bonnet in frustration.This is a dead-end. I can't believe my baby won't be found. We traced the car as Tristan suggested but we found it in a bushy area with no one inside. The tracking device is still on the van which shows that they didn't take note of it. They must have decided to change their vehicle on instinct."Shit!" I curse again. I feel like crying right now. I can't imagine life without Lily. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her.These two innocent people that were kidnapped are suffering for my mistakes. I believe this is my mistake. If I had done the right thing for Lisa by reporting Damien to the authorities, maybe he wouldn't have the guts to be doing this and seeing me as his enemy."Aidan?" Tristan holds me, as I hit the car again, more aggressively. I didn't know when tears begin to spill down my face u

Aidan's POV"I'm going with you, Aidan", Anna pulls my hand as Tristan and I get to the pavement. She kneels, begging me."No, Anna. You need to stay here and wait for us to be back", I peck her forehead."No, I want to go with you to see my baby", she begins to cry again and I sigh. "I don't want them to kill my baby.""Anna.........""I want to come with you so I can beg them to let my baby go. Please, Aidan", she sobs.I turn to face Tristan and he shakes his head."I promise we will be back soon", I kiss her lips and release her hand from mine before walking towards the car with Tristan, ignoring her cries. Natalie comes out immediately and helps her back inside with the help of Jodie."The presence of Tessa at your accident spot will ease everything, she is a suspect" Tristan informs me as we enter the car.

I just hope she won't hurt herself. I wonder where Tristan was when it happened.Who could it be? Is it Damien?I know Damien isn't the only enemy I have. He isn't the only person I am holding grudges against. Apart from Damien, Tessa is there also and my father. I remember Tony and I wonder if he is capable of doing this to get back at Anna for deceiving him.By the time I enter, Anna is already on the floor in the living room. We shouldn't have spent a week at my villa, we planned

The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride CHAPTER 94
Aidan's POVThis is all my fault, I pushed her into the arms of another man. I rejected what she was offering me, her heart and she went in search of someone who would take it gladly. I didn't realize the kind of pure heart Anna has until now, I didn't realize the kind of woman she is until now.Despite her broken heart, she kept pushing to gain entrance into my heart but I kept shoving her back, making her feel rejected and unwanted. This is all my fault but I don't know if I can survive losing her.She is the reason I survived this accident in the first place. I remember the man that pushed me, he kept telling me to go back to Anna.I know I am a bad person, if only I am good, I would have told Anna to go back to Tony and accept his proposal so they can be happy together but I am not good.
